Bath repair at your home in NN11

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in NN11

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Access to the area
How many areas need work
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Any details about the material
A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in NN11, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in NN11

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NN11 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around NN11, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

Rinse it down after each bath
Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Metal that has corroded all the way through
Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Common questions in NN11

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NN11 postcode.

Are there extra charges for NN11?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
